The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 103

Episode 103. Sun and Fog (1)

“Anyway, an unknown person appears behind you in the middle of the night. How can you not show any signs of surprise?”

Her eyes, which were drawing a straight line, narrowed slightly.

“I don’t know if it’s because I was kidnapped before, but you’re looking at me like a mindless, lingering bear?”

I didn’t think I could deny it, so I just stayed silent.

“If you thought I reacted without thinking, you would be greatly mistaken. “I knew exactly 20 meters ago that my senior was coming this way.”

“Ha, on what basis?”

“By smell.”

“smell?”

“There is something unique that comes from the senior’s body. It may not be a good smell that makes you want to bury your nose, but would you say it smells like perfume made with human blood? Anyway, thanks to that smell, I knew my senior was coming.”

For a moment, I was helpless and even had absurd thoughts.

Is there an increased sense of smell among the results of the experiment?

“Besides, I don’t allow other people access that easily in the first place. If someone other than my senior had approached me with bad intentions, I would have created multiple mana spheres and put them all in the holes in my body. Let’s all explode inside… … .”

There’s really nothing this kid can’t say.

“Do your guardians know you’re here?”

“Of course I don’t know. If they find out, there will be an uproar again. Before I came out, I created an illusion of myself using magic. “In their eyes, it will probably look like you’re sleeping in bed with a blanket on your face.”

hmm?

I tilted my head for a moment without realizing it.

The wizards sent by the Garam Society would have been 6-7 stars at most, but they broke through all of their surveillance networks?

“There is nothing to be surprised about. “Because it’s an academy, there’s less surveillance, so there were times when I escaped from the academy to meet my seniors.”

I had a hard time holding back from asking why this thorough-minded person was kidnapped.

Since I felt like the story would get longer if I said more, I thought it would be better to just accept it at this point.

“So, my great junior, what are you doing in the research center this late at night?”

“Hmm, I guess it’s the same goal as yours?”

“Do you know what purpose I came here for?”

“Aren’t you here to investigate the newly appointed instructor Boris?”

At that moment, a drop of cold sweat ran down my back.

“… … “Why do you think that?”

“It was my first time seeing it. The senior looked so angry. Rather than trying to protect Senior Arin, she seemed to hate Boris as a person. So I thought they would definitely do a background check on that person.”

What can I say about this, the feeling of having read the numbers from the beginning?

I walked in without thinking and felt like I was caught in a pre-set mouse trap.

“You mean, you knew from the beginning that I was going to be here?”

“Well, that’s it. Actually, I just overlooked it, but I wasn’t sure. “But you came?”

She raised her eyebrows, as if she was elated that her prediction had come true.

I think I finally understand.

If I try to talk to this kid, I’ll only end up in an awkward position.

I felt like I needed to think seriously about whether it was a mistake to take off her heart curve.

“Well, it seems like it’s a personal matter. I won’t ask you anything in particular. Anyway, what’s important right now is that I and my senior move in unison.”

Is he talking strangely again?

“Hey junior. Let’s draw some lines, right? “I never said I was with you?”

Her lips suddenly pouted.

After expressing his bad mood for a moment, he raised his double wick and asked.

“I think you’re mistaken, Senpai, but I have nothing to lose.”

hmm?

“In other words, I may be interfering with what my senior is trying to do right now.”

It was more outrageous than laughable.

“Are you threatening me now?”

She continued without blinking.

“When carrying out work, the basic principle is to work together when the goals are aligned. But you don’t want to do that, right? Like a person who has always done everything alone… … .”

The more I talk, the more I feel like the clothes I am wearing are being taken off one by one.

I think it would be wrong to proceed without warning.

“Then let me ask you one question.”

“How much does it cost?”

“Why are you investigating that person?”

First of all, I understand that there was no special contact between Lunav and Boris.

I hope you didn’t come here with this kind of crappy idea of ​​wanting to get to know the teacher with the heart of a pure student.

This little guy must have something up his sleeve.

She answered right away as if she had been waiting.

“It’s my personal curiosity.”

“curiosity?”

“yes. I heard that this guy Boris has a magic level of 8, but I’ve never even heard of him. This was my first time hearing the last name Rehelm. Not only I, but none of the people I attended knew about him.”

It would be natural not to know.

In the first place, the surname Lehelm itself cannot be found anywhere in the surviving records of the continent.

Officials of the Garam Society also have no choice but to have doubts.

“But that’s what was most puzzling. “Even though she had 8-star magic power, she had no visible mana at all.”

Questions and even doubts were visible in her eyes.

Come to think of it, he had the ability to check other people’s magical power, right?

“Well, you have to make physical contact to know if it’s right, but anyway, it was a bit new. “It was the first time, other than my senior, that I could not understand his true feelings as much as he did.”

Isn’t the backstory a bit strange?

I thought about trying something different, but since I figured out his intention anyway, I gave up right away.

Today, I guess I have no choice but to bring this little boy with me.

As the conversation progressed, the lights in the research center had already dimmed by almost half.

When I looked at the timing, now seemed like the right time.

[Hey, master.]

As I was about to leave the car, Kayram, who had been silent, called me to stop.

I couldn’t answer, so I just calmly looked away.

[If you are going in, leave me here.]

“What does that mean again?”

I whispered as if I was shouting without realizing it.

[It’s because the air over there is very unpleasant. Because I’ll be quiet. Just stick it somewhere and bring it with you.]

She was sitting with her butt on the stone.

It was unexpected.

Beyond being unexpected, this was something Kayram had never done before.

“You’re so whimsical, Kayram. Suddenly, out of nowhere, something… … .”

[If you have to leave it behind, just leave it behind.]

For a moment, the cold gaze of the magic sword numbed my senses.

It was as if I was revisiting the eerie sensation I felt when I first encountered her in my past life.

“What are you doing, senior? I’m not going?”

Lunav urged me on.

There seemed to be no time to hesitate.

Without her knowing, I secretly took out Keiram from inside and placed it between the trees.

[Have a nice trip, master~]

She sent me off with a comfortable smile, as if she had always done so.

“Don’t do anything stupid… … .”

All that could be done right now was a warning that may or may not work.

* * *

-Wooow.

Even while I’m walking, I find it fascinating that I keep looking at my feet.

Blue mana surrounding the feet.

This is to prevent the sound of footsteps from spreading, but it seems to be better than expected.

For your information, this kid next to me walked the walk, not me.

“How on earth do you think like this?”

“You can do it if you change your mind just a little bit. There is no need to put the mana generated from our bodies only into swords or artifacts. “I don’t think it’s anything special.”

Once again, I feel this kid is very smart.

It seems that he knows very well the principles of magic itself and how humans can utilize it well.

Would you say that it is somehow different from the tendency of existing academic societies that only pursued practical things?

Although she actually acts like it’s natural.

Eventually, we arrived in front of a room with a sign saying ‘Boris Lehelm’.

First of all, the lights were off so it didn’t look like anyone was there.

The moment you put your ear to the door,

“… … !”

Lunav was one step ahead of me and put his ear to me.

She even closed her eyes for a moment to check the energy behind the door, then opened the door without any hesitation.

-Squeak

“It looks like there’s no one there.”

“How about you at least say something first and then open the door?”

She pouted her lips as if to say it didn’t matter anyway.

I didn’t come in expecting anything, but the room was more ordinary than I expected.

As with other research centers, research items and books were placed here and there, and no suspicious movements of magical energy were felt anywhere.

“Have you even brought in your personal items yet? “There’s nothing that looks suspicious.”

Rather, she was so ordinary that she felt regretful.

In fact, it’s not like you can find out anything just by looking around like this.

To others, the Sirika family’s room will look like a perfectly normal laboratory.

I once again felt the need to check to see if there was a knife hidden among the books.

While she was focusing on meaningless items, my eyes fell on a book sitting in front of the desk.

Naturally, I checked the cover of the book.

“Is it a history book?”

Lunav, who had caught up at some point, looked at the title of the book and asked.

It was an integrated history book of the continent that I was quite familiar with.

“I understand that this person was not a history instructor?”

Seeing as the book was still open, it looked like he had left while he was reading it.

I don’t know if I was reading it out of personal preference, but I don’t think I would have read it without thinking.

I looked through the book just in case, but even this was just an ordinary history book and there was nothing hidden there.

However, it wasn’t something worth sitting down for a long time and checking.

You will have to spend quite a bit of time checking to see if there is a password.

“… … ?”

Meanwhile, I found an unknown picture at the end of the book.

It was actually closer to a graffiti than a drawing.

hmm.

What on earth did you draw?

To put it in words, it was a graffiti of a large sun with clouds or other things hanging around it.

To my limited knowledge, it was difficult to understand what they were trying to express.

“That’s a fun doodle.”

On the other hand, Lunav, who was watching from the side, responded that it was interesting.

“What do you mean fun?”

“Just looking at it, it’s very interesting. “It feels as if unidentifiable figures are gathering around the sun, which symbolizes light, as if they are rushing towards the sun, intent on eating it.”

They are unknown figures trying to eat the sun… … .

Now that you say it like that, it seems like it seems that way.

“So, what do you think these figures look like?”

She stroked her lips, thought deeply, and finally opened her mouth.

“Fog.”

“… … !”

For a moment, it felt like a rock had fallen on the top of my head.
